Break in Period
There may be up to a 100
shot break-in period. During
this period accuracy may be
inconsistent and your gun may
seem loud. This will improve as
the spring breaks in.
2. Operating the Safety
A. To Put the Airgun “ON SAFE:”
Locate the safety in front of the trigger. •
The letters “F” (re) and “S” (safe) on the bottom of the trigger guard indicate the appropriate position of the safety.•
Push the safety towards the trigger to put the safety on. The safety is on, and the airgun is “ON SAFE” when the •
lever is in the rear position (near the trigger). (Fig. 2)
Even when the safety is on, you should continue to handle the airgun safely. Don’t point the gun at anything you
don’t intend to shoot.
Like all mechanical devices, an airgun safety can fail. Even when the safety is “ON SAFE”, you should continue to
handle the airgun safely. NEVER point the airgun at any person. NEVER point the airgun at anything you do not
intend to shoot.
B. To Take the Airgun “OFF SAFE”
WARNING:
Keep the airgun “ON SAFE” until you are actually ready to shoot. Then push
the safety to the “OFF SAFE” position.
Push the safety to the forward position (away from the trigger). When the airgun is “OFF SAFE” (Fig. 2) it is ready •
to be red after following the instructions in this manual on how to load.
3. Adjusting the Trigger
This airgun has a trigger with a screw for adjustment of the second
stage length (Fig. 3)
Note: This feature is added for advanced shooters. Most shooters can
use the settings provided during manufacturing of the gun and should
not need to make any modications.
Make sure airgun is “ON SAFE”, unloaded and not cocked.•
To reduce the second stage length, rotate the adjusting screw •
counterclockwise.
To increase the second stage length, rotate the adjusting screw •
clockwise.
4. Cocking and Loading Your Airgun
A. Cocking Your Airgun
WARNING:
Make sure you do not touch the trigger or push the safety to the “OFF
SAFE” position.
Do not cock your airgun until you are ready to load and re, since the only way to un-cock your airgun is to re it.
Firing your gun without a pellet in the chamber (dry ring) may cause damage to your airgun.
Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (SECTION 2).•
Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.•
Holding the gun close to your body, rmly tap the muzzle. (Fig. 4A)•
Anchor gun against thigh and pull barrel down as far as it will go to engage the spring. (Fig.4B)•
Be careful not to pinch your hand or ngers in the hinge area of the airgun.•
B. Loading Your Airgun
WARNING:
Make sure you do not pull the trigger while cocking the air rie or with the
barrel in the down position. This may cause serious damage to the air rie.
CAUTION: Use .177 caliber pellets only in your Optimus. Never reuse ammunition. Your air gun was designed to
work with Crosman branded ammunition, these include Crosman
®
and Benjamin. Use of any other ammunition can
cause injury to you or damage to the airgun.
There may be up to a 100 shot break-in period. During this period accuracy may be inconsistent and your gun may
seem loud. This will improve as the spring breaks in.
With the barrel in the open position, after it has been cocked, place one pellet, nose forward, into the breech •
(Fig. 5). Make sure that the skirt of the pellet is ush with face of breech.
Move the barrel back to its original position by pushing the barrel up until it locks (Fig. 6).•
Be sure that the barrel is locked in the closed position after loading/cocking to help ensure better accuracy.•
•
Once again, be careful not to pinch your hands or ngers. Be sure the airgun is “ON SAFE” and pointed in a
safe direction.
WARNING:
Your air rie is now loaded and ready to re. Keep the air rie “ON SAFE”
until you are ready to shoot. Do not point at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
C. Unloading Your Airgun
Do not cock and load your airgun until you are ready to shoot since the only way to un-cock your airgun is to re it
in a safe direction. REMEMBER, choose your targets carefully and be sure that the area around the target is clear.
THINK what you will hit if you miss the target! Do not store your gun cocked or loaded.
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
A. Aiming and Firing the Airgun
You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.•
Always aim your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION. •
Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone •
or something you had not intended to hit.
Always choose your target carefully. It is best to shoot at paper bull’s-eye targets which are attached to a safe back-•
stop. A heavy blanket should be hung behind the backstop to prevent ricochet should you miss the backstop.
Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. Replace your backstop if the surface is •
worn or damaged or if a ricochet occurs.
Your airgun is designed for target shooting. Always remember to place your target carefully. •
THINK about what you will hit if you miss the target.•
When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, take the airgun “Off •
Safe” (see Section 2.2) and pull the trigger to re.
B. Scope
Your Optimus CO1K77X is packaged with a CenterPoint 4x32mm
scope. Refer to the owner’s manual for your scope for instructions on
mounting and use.
6. Removing a Jammed Pellet
Put your airgun “ON SAFE” (Section 2A).•
Do not reload the airgun if a pellet is jammed.•
Break the barrel open slightly (without pulling the barrel all the •
way down to the point that it cocks the action) and look down the
breech to see if the gun is jammed.
If it is jammed, insert a cleaning rod into the breech and push the •
jammed pellet out of the muzzle. Don’t try to reuse that pellet (Fig. 7)
WARNING:
Do not cock the airgun during the removal of a jammed pellet unless you
plan on continuing to shoot.
Remember: do not re your airgun without a pellet in the chamber (dry re). This may permanently damage your airgun.
If you are not able to unjam your airgun by following the unloading procedure, take no further action. An Autho-•
rized Service Station will unjam your airgun (no cost during the warranty period).
7. Maintaining Your Airgun
Periodically tighten all stock fasteners•
Check and tighten scope mounts if applicable•
To ensure that your air rie maintains uniform power, it is important that •
you apply a drop of Crosman RMCOIL every few hundred shots into the
compression chamber. (Fig. 8) The external metal parts should be cleaned
with a cloth that has RMCOIL on it.
CAUTION: Use Crosman RMCOIL only and do not over-oil. To do so can
cause possible damage to the gun and injury to the shooter and bystanders.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to disassemble your airgun. DO NOT MODIFY OR
ALTER YOUR AIRGUN. Attempts to modify the airgun in any way inconsistent
with this manual may make your airgun unsafe to use, cause serious injury or
death, and will void the warranty.
If you drop your airgun, visually check to see that it works properly before you
use it again. If anything seems changed, like a shorter or weaker trigger pull,
this may mean worn out or broken parts. Call Crosman customer service for
assistance before using your airgun again.
8. Reviewing Safety
Never point the airgun at any person or at anything you do not intend to shoot.•
Always treat the airgun as though it is loaded and with the same respect you would a rearm.•
Always aim in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always keep the muzzle of the airgun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.•
Always keep the airgun on safe until you are ready to shoot.•
Always check to see if the airgun is “ON SAFE” (see section 2A) and unloaded when getting it from another •
person or from storage.
Always keep your nger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot.•
You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.•
If your reading or prescription glasses are not safety glasses, make sure you wear shooting glasses over your •
regular glasses.
Use .177 caliber (4.5mm) pellet only in your Model Optimus. NEVER reuse ammunition.•
Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone •
or something you had not intended to hit.
Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail. •
Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. All backstops are subject to wear and will •
eventually fail. Replace your backstop if the surface is worn or damaged or if a ricochet occurs.
Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your airgun. Use an Authorized Service Station. Using unauthorized •
repair centers or modifying the function of your airgun in any way may be unsafe and will void your warranty.
Before you store your airgun make sure it is not loaded or cocked.•
Whenever you store the airgun, make sure it is “ON SAFE” (see section 2A.)•
